8 POINTS OF DIFFERENCE

The top 8 reasons New Zealand Safaris is rated best of the best.

1 Quality hunts over quantity hunts.

It`s about personalized high quality experiences, not budget hunts, or high turn over hunts. From the properties to meals, guiding, rooms and service New Zealand Safaris is second to none. As a small, family run business we believe in a genuine, personal hunting experience for each hunter, family or group. One hunt at a time.

2 You have the choice of free range and fair chase hunts.

Although we have the most extensive variety of privately owned free range properties in New Zealand, we also have proven our fair chase Estates will match any in the industry. As many hunters do, you can combine the two all on private land such as stag and tahr.

3 We're family friendly.

With a wide range of non-hunting activities we have our own personalized travel agent. We are near the famous Mount Cook National Park and Southern lakes region in the central South Island. We will book the whole lodge and hunting areas out to families or groups, and we can help you arrange several local non-hunting activities.

4 We are the bull tahr foot hunting specialists.

We’ve earned the reputation for having the highest success rate hunting big mature bull tahr, on private wilderness land on foot. Not only Because we live right in the home of the tahr, but like many other Outfitters that share properties or hunt on government land we know where and when to find those older trophy bulls that are not constantly getting hunted by others. With our lodge right here it’s a perfect combination to hunt out of if clients are bringing non hunters.

5 Our own All Seasons Lodge is central to all our South Island species.

We are situated between 5-30 minutes from all our free range and fair chase properties including birds, varmints, the Southern lakes, Mt Cook and under 40 mins from our closest airport. This means that valuable time isn’t wasted traveling to different hunting areas each day.

6 We have the largest variety of private land foot hunting properties in New Zealand.

We specialize in private land hunting, which means weather you choose free range or fair chase we have exclusive access to privately owned wilderness properties. Building relationships over many years with honesty and loyalty has earned us the opportunity of holding these areas that many Outfitters each year try to hunt on.

7 Local, fully trained and highly experienced guides.

With in-depth and life-long knowledge of the area, Jim and his team and born and breed in the country and know it and the people well. They are also trained in first aid and operate under the guides health and safety policy putting your safety and enjoyment foremost while out hunting.

8 We use a professional, full-time expediter for your game.

This relationship ensures your trophies are prepared and shipped to the highest standards within 3 months of your hunt. We work with taxidermist that we can recommend if you would like to have your New Zealand animals mounted to the highest life like standard either in U.S or Canada.

There is only one word for New Zealand...EPIC.
